What were you doing at 14 years old? Charging Waimea Bay? Getting barreled at Pipeline? Throwing full rotation reverses at Rocky’s? Doubt it. At just 14 years old, France’s Justin Becret has accomplished what most surfers only hope to achieve in an entire lifetime. Crazy thing is, he’s just getting started.

Hailing from Landes, France, there isn’t much opportunity to prepare oneself for the sheer power of the North Shore. Still, Justin has managed to button up those who are two to three times his age and size. Will he be the next Jack Robinson? Perhaps. Either way, this boy’s future is looking bright.
